ABOUT US

We are a group of professional jewellers committed to working with respect for the environment and human rights, and we are working towards a CHANGE to a new model of (responsible) jewellery.

OUR WORK

We promote debate and learning, we offer access to resources and we try to open up new paths towards a jewellery that is increasingly responsible and obstacle-free, we circulate new information and work in networks with other initiatives.

OUR VALUES

We call for a conception of jewellery in which creative and aesthetic expression is as important as our values of sustainability and social justice. A piece of jewellery can be the drive towards social and environmental change.
